Absence of July Phenomenon in Acute Ischemic Stroke Care Quality and Outcomes.
(Journal of the American Heart Association, 2018-01-31)BACKGROUND:Lower care quality and an increase in adverse outcomes as a result of new medical trainees is a concept well rooted in popular belief, termed the "July phenomenon." Whether this phenomenon occurs in acute ischemic ... -
Achieving Data Liquidity: Lessons Learned from Analysis of 38 Clinical Registries (The Duke-Pew Data Interoperability Project.
(AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium, 2019-01)BACKGROUND:To assess the current state of clinical data interoperability, we evaluated the use of data standards across 38 large professional society registries. METHODS:The analysis included 4 primary components: ... -
Acquisition, Analysis, and Sharing of Data in 2015 and Beyond: A Survey of the Landscape: A Conference Report From the American Heart Association Data Summit 2015.
(J Am Heart Assoc, 2015-11-05)BACKGROUND: A 1.5-day interactive forum was convened to discuss critical issues in the acquisition, analysis, and sharing of data in the field of cardiovascular and stroke science. The discussion will serve as the foundation ... -
Activation and targeting of extracellular signal-regulated kinases by beta-arrestin scaffolds.
(Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2001-02-27)Using both confocal immunofluorescence microscopy and biochemical approaches, we have examined the role of beta-arrestins in the activation and targeting of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 2 (ERK2) following stimulation ... -
Acute Limb Ischemia in Peripheral Artery Disease.
(Circulation, 2019-08)BACKGROUND:Acute limb ischemia (ALI) is an important clinical event and an emerging cardiovascular clinical trial outcome. Risk factors for and outcomes after ALI have not been fully evaluated. METHODS:EUCLID (Examining ... -
Acute myocardial infarction in sub-Saharan Africa: the need for data.
(PloS one, 2014-01)BACKGROUND: Trends in the prevalence of acute myocardial infarction in sub-Saharan Africa have not been well described, despite growing recognition of the increasing burden of cardiovascular disease in low- and middle-income ... -
Acute myocardial infarction under-diagnosis and mortality in a Tanzanian emergency department: A prospective observational study.
(American heart journal, 2020-08)BACKGROUND:Growing evidence suggests that under-diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) may be common in sub-Saharan Africa. Prospective studies of routine AMI screening among patients presenting to emergency departments ... -
Addressing the Menace of Enterococcal Endocarditis.
(Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2020-02) -
Adjunctive β2-agonist treatment reduces glycogen independently of receptor-mediated acid α-glucosidase uptake in the limb muscles of mice with Pompe disease.
(FASEB J, 2014-05)Enzyme or gene replacement therapy with acid α-glucosidase (GAA) has achieved only partial efficacy in Pompe disease. We evaluated the effect of adjunctive clenbuterol treatment on cation-independent mannose-6-phosphate ... -
Adrenergic receptors. Models for regulation of signal transduction processes.
(Hypertension, 1990-02)Adrenergic receptors are prototypic models for the study of the relations between structure and function of G protein-coupled receptors. Each receptor is encoded by a distinct gene. These receptors are integral membrane ... -
Adult Congenital Heart Disease Care Provision: the Need for a Jack/Jackie of All Trades.
(Progress in cardiovascular diseases, 2018-09) -
Aerobic exercise and neurocognitive performance: a meta-analytic review of randomized controlled trials.
(Psychosom Med, 2010-04)OBJECTIVES: To assess the effects of aerobic exercise training on neurocognitive performance. Although the effects of exercise on neurocognition have been the subject of several previous reviews and meta-analyses, they have ... -
Alglucosidase alfa enzyme replacement therapy as a therapeutic approach for glycogen storage disease type III.
(Mol Genet Metab, 2013-02)We investigated the feasibility of using recombinant human acid-α glucosidase (rhGAA, Alglucosidase alfa), an FDA approved therapy for Pompe disease, as a treatment approach for glycogen storage disease type III (GSD III). ... -
Alterations in cardiac adrenergic signaling and calcium cycling differentially affect the progression of cardiomyopathy.
(J Clin Invest, 2001-04)The medical treatment of chronic heart failure has undergone a dramatic transition in the past decade. Short-term approaches for altering hemodynamics have given way to long-term, reparative strategies, including beta-adrenergic ... -
An approach to the study of G-protein-coupled receptor kinases: an in vitro-purified membrane assay reveals differential receptor specificity and regulation by G beta gamma subunits.
(Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 1994-04-26)Phosphorylation of GTP-binding-regulatory (G)-protein-coupled receptors by specific G-protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs) is a major mechanism responsible for agonist-mediated desensitization of signal transduction processes. ... -
An Initial Evaluation of the Impact of Pokémon GO on Physical Activity.
(Journal of the American Heart Association, 2017-05-16)Pokémon GO is a location-based augmented reality game. Using GPS and the camera on a smartphone, the game requires players to travel in real world to capture animated creatures, called Pokémon. We examined the impact of ... -
An integrated transcriptome and expressed variant analysis of sepsis survival and death.
